TAGWeb

The TAGWeb® (Technical Assessment Guide Web) is an integrated, web-based software tool that provides current economic cost and technical performance data and analytical tools to assess power generation and storage technologies, including:

  • Renewable power generation: Solar photovoltaic (PV), onshore wind, offshore wind, solar thermal, geothermal, and biomass.

  • Energy storage technologies: Batteries (lithium ion; flow; metal air; sodium-based), compressed air energy storage, flywheels, and pumped storage hydropower.

  • Fossil fuel-fired technologies: Natural gas combustion turbines (CTs) and combined cycles (CCs), pulverized coal, and coal gasification technologies, all with and without carbon capture and storage (CCS) options.

  • Hydrogen Combustion: Hydrogen-fired CTs and CCs.

  • Nuclear technologies: Conventional and small modular reactors (SMR).

  • Distributed generation: Reciprocating internal combustion engines (RICEs), small combustion turbines, and fuel cells.

TAGWeb enables company resource planners, engineers, and strategists to identify lower-cost, environmentally-compliant power generation and storage options related to new capacity additions, plant retrofits and retirements, and major asset replacement and refurbishment. Many electric companies use TAGWeb to support development of their Integrated Resource Plans (IRPs) and screen new potential technology additions. Some electric companies also use TAGWeb to validate or benchmark cost and performance data collected internally or from third-parties.
